Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene when Data is portraying a character from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" a small card can be seen attached to the back of the book he is carrying (likely containing his lines), but after increasing the amount of torch light the card is no longer there.

Visible crew/equipment: Captain Picard joins the poker game and Data asks the Captain if he wants to deal. Picard says "Thank you Mr. Data." Riker sits down, and just before Captain Picard starts saying "Actually..." a camera or other bit of equipment briefly pops into shot behind Riker.

The cast really are very good friends. At LeVar Burton's wedding in 1992, the best man was Brent Spiner and the ushers were Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes and Michael Dorn. And when Brent Spiner recorded an album (Ol' Yellow Eyes is Back), the backing groups listed as The Sunspots are again the male members of the bridge crew.
